INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT 4TH EDITION

by Hugenholtz, P. Bernt Hugenholtz

International Copyright surveys and analyzes the legal doctrines affecting copyright practice around the world, in both transactional and litigation settings. It provides a step-by-step methodology for advising clients involved in exploiting creative works in or from foreign countries. Written by two of the most esteemed experts of copyright law in the United States and Europe, this volume is a unique synthesis of copyright law and practice, taking into account the Berne Convention, the TRIPs Agreement, the ongoing harmonization of copyright in the European Union, and the impact of the Internet. National copyright rules on protectible subject matter, ownership, term, and rights are covered in detail and compared from country to country, as are topics on moral rights and neighboring rights. Separate sections cover such important topics as territoriality, national treatment and choice of law, as well as the treaty and trade arrangements that underlie substantive copyright norms.

[Andres Jaramillo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read the 2019 version.

This book has two moments. If you are a starter on copyright you will find a great source of information, and you will find a very comprehensive insight on all major copyright issues.

If you are a copyright scholar or practicer, the book is a must read. Among many other things, the authors go into the most intrincate parts of copyright with a surprising clarity, international treaties and litigation are reviewed and explained in a way no other publication of this kind does.

Very very recommended.
